The tenor fits a niche very well. It’s easy to play and the setup is good. It comes with a nice travel case that I don’t think would cause any problems as a carry-on on a flight despite being longer than 21” because it’s slim and should fit in the overhead somewhere or under two seats if you’re flying with a friend. I mainly play tenor but am reluctant taking my primary uke out on a lake or river. The tenor model has the upgraded frets. Unfortunately, the price is higher too which is my only complaint for a knock around uke. In that role, there’s still a risk of it getting damaged or stolen.
To my ear with the original strings, this sounds ok. Not impressive, not terrible. It’s certainly good enough to enjoy playing and making music with. The main competition to this would be a laminate tenor. Those are fine too. It depends on if you need the slimmer, more portable body and increased water resistance. Regular exposure to water inside the sound hole of a laminate would ruin it. Not so with this Enya.

Product Description
Easy to Tune
The standard C tuning features strings tuned to G, C, E, and A(From the left to the right when you put the ukulele straight and facing the front as the left picture shows). You may begin your tuning with the 3rd string, which is the note C, the G-E-A.
For a new instrument, it will take time for the string as well as the ukulele body to adapt to the pulling force. You may need to tune the ukulele several times until the force is balanced and the tune is settled.
Whether you prioritize tone or quality, the Nova U series is the ultimate choice

A Uke for Adventuring, Scouting, Hiking, and Canoeing
Hello. Long time Scouter and here. In 2023 I was a part of a crew that headed down to Florida Seabase and we spent several days on Big Munson Island. While prepping for the trek, my wife shared a link with me to this Ukulele. I love music. Several of my crew members love music. I won't pretend to be the best at playing the Uke, but I like music and I can hold my own.This uke is tough! While we canoed to Big Munson island it sat at my feet and I barely noticed it. Every morning after waking up, I would walk out to the picnic table I left it on, upend it, and dump out any rain water that had collected in it. It held its tune fairly well and the tuners continued to function throughout the adventure. The only noticeable wear on it is the corrosion around the tuning pegs due to the exposure to sea water. It still tunes though.At the end of the adventure is when it got it's first branding. A tradition at scout camps is branding of images or initials to signify the completion of the adventure. The Carbon Fiber body is fairly resilient and has stood up to many such brandings without changing tone quality or getting in the way of strumming.Over the next year, I became known in the scout community as "that guy with the ukulele". It went with me on monthly camping trips, summer camp, training weekends, and even a 18 mile camping hike in Savage Gulf Tennessee. I just strapped it to the hiking backpack and didn't even notice the weight change. During all that time it accidentally banged up against trees, picnic tables, and whatever else my clumsiness may have had it collide with.This past week my wife and I took 9 other individual scouts on a trip to Northern Tier Atikokan and completed 50+ miles of canoeing and camping in the Canadian Crown lands. Just like with Sea Base, the uke found its way into the canoe and rode with me wherever I went. During portages, I rigged a carabiner to it so it could hang from my life jacket while I carried my share of the load over the trails.It still tunes. It still sounds great. It is always fun to see scouts, counselors, or other passersby on the trails light up when they see the uke out.I guess I can't say enough good things about this. Thank you for making a quality product.

I did not buy this as a top-of-the-line instrument. I bought it to mess around with, along with my quality instruments.
It is cool-looking, it sounds exceptionally good for what it is, it’s fun to play, it is well-made (except for the stickers on the fretboard…one of which I already had to re-glue because it fell off…Lol), it is low cost, and it gets attention.
I would have preferred this concert size to have electronics, which I can no longer seem to find on this model anywhere. I wanted to gig with this Enya!
Only time will tell if the plastic frets wear down as others have mentioned. In the meantime, I am going to enjoy the heck out of it.
As long as you realize you’re not buying a professional, high-quality ukulele, you will not be disappointed!
